pattern recognition

the thing about fisherman

is half the time they’re gone to sea

unhinged, loose to the waves, untouchable

who knows about the other half

I am still waiting for the boat to come in


or maybe it’s the fish I fancy

an aquatic life on the run

I took up swimming (no, without a school

and yes, in chlorinated pool)

back and forth / back and forth

building strength for a chase

but hoping to be caught


so I find myself searching

for antonyms – of aftermath

and more important, anthropomorphism
